This is something I have been thinking a lot about recently...
Can you be eccentric AND still be cool?
Granted, I'm not Stephen Fry eccentric/cool, but I do consider myself the cooler of my friends (Yes, that is very bigheaded of me, but you don't know my friends...) even though I have recently discovered that I am pretty insane.
So yeah, can you be insanely eccentric AND some resemblance of cool?
Also, I'm interested in generating some conversations about this, so please, if you consider yourself under my particular umbrella, please - Discuss how and why!
I'll start - Being a gamer I'm somewhat of an escapist (See what I did there?!) I get too immersed in even the bad games I play, RPGs like Fallout and Oblivion have both cost me hours in social interaction that I will never get back, and, unlike most people in the 20 - 29 age bracket in my country, I love listening to both classical and popular music and I find wearing a suit, tie and hat a very cool thing to do - Almost 1950s with the modern throwback of pierced ears and tattoos galore! I read philosophical books, watch TV programs no 'sane' person would consider watching and consider most of the 'humans' in my town to be nothing more than Neanderthals who have learned to walk upright and to learn the few simple phrases in English that they will need to get them through life...

(ovo it's possible to be eccentric, cool AND an egotistical prick at the same time...)
